Bob is our firstborn. He is named after his dad and his uncle (my only brother). He's currently 10, and my biggest helper.

Bob enjoys computer games (his current favorites are a Jedi game and a Worms game, neither of which I've played), and reading, and board games. I've recently taught him how to play backgammon, and he can already beat me in chess (though I'm still better in checkers).

He wants to learn to be a programmer. He's doing mostly fourth grade work this year (2003-2004).

Bob likes Bionicle, and Lego. He likes to wear shirts and socks that are too big for him. He prefers his pants to fit correctly, though.

Like most firstborn children, Bob likes to "supervise" the other children. They don't care much for that.
